Kate Weston is a former stand-up comedian who still gigs from time to time and likes nothing more than a proper giggle. She lives in London with her partner and adorable cat Angus. Diary of a Confused Feminist is her debut novel.
What is this book about?
Meet Kat Evans: Feminist. Overthinker. Hot mess.
A hilarious antidote to our Insta-perfect world, Diary of a Confused Feminist is for girls who want to do it right but always feel they’re getting it wrong …
15-year-old Kat wants to do GOOD FEMINISM, although she’s not always sure what that means. She also wants to be a writer, get together with Hot Josh (is this a feminist ambition?), win at her coursework and not make a TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT of herself at all times.
But the path to true feminism is filled with mortifying incidents, muddling moments and Instagram hell. And it doesn’t help that Hot Josh is just, well, properly, distractingly hot.
And when everything at school starts to get a bit too much, Kat knows she’s lost her way, and the only way forward is to ask for help …
Bold, authentic and laugh-out-loud funny, Kat’s diary fearlessly navigates her way through life, love and teenage anxiety.
